SECTON-LL FENCE.

[application flied .august 16, 1922. Serial lo. 582.1542.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that i, learner M. SnirnNorr, a citizen ot ussia, residingv at Oshawa, lDrov. of lOntario, and Eoin. ci' Cai' and l, iriioin Gnnivionr, citizen ot Carr ada, residing' at Oshawa, hov. oi' Ontario, and Dorn. ors Canada, have invented'certain new and useiul improvements in Sectional Fences, oi' which the following is a specilicat-ion.

This invention relates to improvements in i'ences and it is the principal object ot the invention to provide a tence ouiltin sections which can conveniently he transported and readily erected at any place.

another object of the invention is the provision of a tence ot this character .vhicli can he extendedto any desired length and the sections ot which are permitted a limited relative movement in order to allow for uneven `ground etc.

A iurther object ot the invention is the provision of: a. tence requiring only a very limited use of posts and which can he made ot any style or type of wire eiiiectively preventing animals from straying` troni a fenced in piece ot pasture, etc.

Still further objects o'i the invention are the provision ot means tor connecting the single tence sections and ot securely fastening' the saine to the ground.

These and other objects and advantages ot our invention will become more fully known as the description thereof proceeds and will then he more specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying;- drawing, forming a material part of our invention:

Figure 1 is a it'ront view of a sectional tence constructed and erected according to our invention.

Figure 2 is a detail front view or" one ot 'the fence sections.

Figure 3 shows in detail side view one ot the fastening spikes.

Figure t is a. side elevation ot one of clamping nails.

The single sections ot our improved tence consist each orn a pair of strong end loa-rs and 11 connected hy wires 12 and cross wires 13 in the manner illustrated. `Each bar 11 is provided with a plurality of upper and outer swivel hooks 14 mounted for limited movement and a. pair ot lower, outer eyes 15. while each har 1@ is equipped with a plurality ot' eyes 1G.

the

`While two adjusting hars 11 and 10 of neighboring sections are connected bynieans ot the engagement ot hooks 11i of one section with the eyes 1G oit' the other section, and are secured to the ground hy spikes or long nails 17 passed through eyes 15 and 16 respectively as shown in Figure 1, and restingwith their heads on the upper pair oi' eyes, it will hecoine necessary at certain intervals, to use angle irons 19 and 2O respectively replacing` the customary posts.

The upper ends ot the vertical branches ot these angle irons are hook shaped as 21 and 22 respectively and engage eyes 23 and 2d secured to the inner faces ot hars 11 and 10 respectively as clearly illustrated in `Figure 1. rihe lower, horizontal branches or the angle irons 19 and 2O are engaging the ground, and clamping nails 25 are used to hold their branches to the ground, while spikes 26 provided with heads 27 are passed through eyes 16 and 15 ot the sections into the ground.

Corner posts 28 are used at placeswhere the fence changes its direction and clamps 29 are employed lto connect the posts 28 with the loa-r 11 otl the adjoining` tence section.

To the outer faces oi the corner posts, near 'their upper ends, eyes 30 are secured through which brace wires 31 are passed, the ends o'f which are held to thel ground by means ot pegs or nails 32 provided with heads 33.

rEhe device operates as follows:

if it is desired to erect a tence at a predetermined place, the sections which may loe transported to the place rolled., are spread and the lower har 11 of one section is secured by means oit the clamping wires 29 to the posts 23 previously driven into the ground, while a nail or pin 26 is driven through the lower eyes on har 11 into the ground. The har is then secured with its upper hooked end in eye 24 of bar lO and with its horizontal lower branch onto the ground.

The next fence section is then attached to the first section hy the engagement ot its hooks 14 with the eyes 16 ot the tirst section, and har 19 is secured with its upper hooked end 21 in eye 23 while its lower horizontal branch is placed on the ground side loy side ot the branch of bar 20. The clamp nails are driven into the ground to cla-mp with their head parts over the horizontal branches oia hars 19 and 20, whereafter the spikes 2G are driven through eyes 1G into the l5 and 16.

The following sections of the fence are attached to the second and to each other by simply engaging-the hooks of one section with the eyes of the adjoining section and by driving the spikes 17 through eyes l5 and 16 into the ground, until their heads 18 rest upon the` eyes.

' Changes may be made in the general arrangement or' our device and the-construction of the minor details thereof without departing from the scope and spirit of our inventio'n. f

What'we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:

l. A fence composed or' .a plurality of sections, each of said sections, comprising two end bars, hooks at the outer ends of one end bar of one section and eyes at the upper end Vof the end bar or' the neXt section adapted to be engaged by said hooks, clamps for clamping one end section to a post, means .'for bracing the post against the ground,

-means for securing the adjoining ends of two :tence sections to the ground, and angle irons hooked to said fence sections .and engaging the ground with their' horizontal branches on some of said sections, means l:tor securing said'horizontal sections to the ground, and nails passed through eyes at the vlower end of ltwo adjoining fence sections, into the to the ground.

2. A fence'composed of a plurality of sections, each carrying two vertical end bars, wire stretched between said bars, swivel hooks at the outer ends of one bar, swivel eyes at the outer face of the adjoining bar adapted to be engaged by said hooks, eyes lnear the'lower ends of the end bars of two adjoining sections, pins driven through said eyes into the ground and heads on said pins resting on the upper of saideyes, means for securing some oi said sections to a fence, post and additional means for securing a predetermined number of sections to the ground.

3. A fence 4comprising a plurality of sections hingedly secured to each other for relative movement, a means for securing the end sections to a fence post, angle irons adapted to be fastened with the upper hook ends to the end bars of two adjoining sections and having their horizontal branches disposed parallelly on the ground, ciamp pins for clamping the horizontal branches to the ground and auxiliary fence nails engaging eyes of the end bars of each section and the ground for securing said sections to the ground.

Y In testimony whereof we have afiXed our signatures.
